If you uninstalled OL2003 and installed OL2007 it would have used the
previous profile and previous data files.
You would need to open your backup data file within OL via File>Open>Data
file.....backup
To create a new Profile, with OL closed use the mail applet in Control Panel

Hi
my hard drive on my laptop crashed - but I had a week old backup.
I opened up my old laptop running XP/2003 and uninstalled Office 2003
(which
also had LiveMeeting installed). I didn't uninstall LiveMeeting.
I Installed Office 2007 and wasn't going to use my backed up Outlook.pst
file because I thought it was a good opportunity to start again and backup
emails in my Explorer folders (outside Outlook). I'm also hopeful my
crashed
laptop will be able to recover and I just wanted to copy the new emails
across.
But the new install of Outlook didn't install an Outlook.pst or
Archive.pst
file.
So, I then placed my backed up Outlook.pst file and Archive.pst file into
the \Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook directory, started
Outlook and it opened. It was looking for some old data files that I used
to
have in my Outlook build but not for at least 6 months. And I was also
prompted for the Symantec addin dll vpmsece3.dll which is not part of my
current (crashed build) either. I don't use Symantec and haven't for a
few
years.
The main issue with using the backed up Outlook.pst file is that my new
email, while I can see it loading up (said I had received 66 emails last
night) - but they are not visible. Aaaaah!
I use AVG professional - and following this and some googling, I disable
the
email scanner; but I still seem to receive the emails, but they are not
visible.
I have a second account (an exchange account) that I recieve emails from
when I'm in a client's office; in case that is significant information.
But
when I am in the office I just receive the exchange email into my Inbox.
Can anyone help - even just to get a clean Outlook.pst install would at
least help him receive my emails.
Secondly, if you could help me find the 'lost' recently received emails
that
would be fantastic.
PS I have a big meeting on Tuesday morning where I need LiveMeeting, and
didn't want to uninstall it just incase i couldn't get it back again. But
if
I have to uninstall, I'll do it.
.
